Midweek game, saints 2nd team, football on telly, better saints side for halifax on friday, loads of reasons for fans to stay at home.

Fair comment and I fully expect us to get jolly rogered (certainly in the 1st half) come Friday.

Manutd v ManCity was also on bbc television.So a few would have stayed in to be honest.According to my friends only a few saints fans.New crusaders?

No. Three bloody matches in one week! We turned out well for the Widnes friendly last season, because we didn't have three matches in one week last season.

It was a joke mate.

Not been funny,but i know a few saints fans who look down at widnes.I think alot of fans thought it be a easy win, otherwise more would have gone.

Just got back from down south and im gutted i missed the match but with a lot of youngsters out i think we more than held our own against a mixed saints side. Thompson sounds as if he had a good game as did grady and thacks and i love the new away kit. Bring on the Salford.
